Futurelight have announced a new series of fully-featured, integrated wireless DMX/W-DMX moving heads which are available in the UK through exclusive distributors, DiFuzion (along with a Wireless DMX transmitter).

The new range, which incorporates the gamut of features along with integrated wireless receiver, includes the PHS-265 Wireless DMX (250W Pro-Head Spot with seven dichroic colour filters, seven static and seven rotating gobos); PHW-265 (250W Pro-Head Washlight, with standard CMY plus an additional colour wheel with colour correction and UV dichroic filters); PHS-1200E (1200W Pro-Head Spot with electronic ballast); PHW-1200E (1200W Pro-Head Washlight, with variable colour temperature correction via CTO-filter, standard CMY and a variable beam angle from 11 - 45 degrees); and finally the shortly to launch PHS-1400E (offering unbeatable light output from a 1200W Pro-Head Spot).

Difuzion's new business development manager, David Stewart, says that this moving head offers 30% brighter output, with an animation wheel that includes fire, water, cloud and rain effects. It is expected in the UK by the end of November.

Also coming into the UK is the new WDS-1 Wireless DMX Transmitter, which supports one universe of 512 DMX channels (larger systems can easily be adapted to support up to 8,192 DMX channels).

Explains David Stewart: "Wireless DMX is a technology to control many DMX devices without any cables or to bridge a distance between sender and receiver. W-DMX is interference-free from other wireless devices in the 2.45 GHz band such as W-LAN."
